  1. Agreed. We better hope our DL is strong enough to not allow many runners to reach the second level.
  2. “My opinion is that your opinion is a bad opinion”. Oofta.
  3. Yep. Same here. The excuse I have received is that mods are tired of having to get notified that a post of mine was “reported”. 1) Who in their right mind is so insecure that they are reporting people who have a different opinion than them, on the internet!? 2) All you need is enough people not liking your opinion (and therefore clicking the ‘report’ button), to get a mod annoyed enough to warn a poster. If I was the mod, I would be warning the poster who consistently keeps hitting the report button for non-TOS issues. When you can essentially silence people with opposing viewpoints by clicking a button. That’s a very broken system.
  4. Funny how that works, isn’t it? Quite the double standard at times. If you’re in agreement with the Bills decision making (on any topic), you’re a great poster. If you disagree, you’re an idiot. Two posters can debate for several pages. The poster that defends the Bills is just posting. The poster deemed “negative” will be considered crusading. It’s not your fault for thinking that. The way PSE has handled parts of the stadium process has been bungled from a PR standpoint. We *still* don’t have detailed renderings or a fly through video, yet stadiums that were approved several months after ours have already released these. We sure like to do things differently here. And the way PSE flies through executive management, it’s a wonder what is going on inside.
  5. I know you’ll say you don’t care what other fans think, but it’s not just me who feels this way:
  6. Has there been a training camp that he didn’t look great? The problem is that his hands turn to butter when the regular season starts. 2020 2021 2022
  7. Kincaid is the real deal. His awareness level is top-notch and his hands are magnets. He also shows great balance, which is something you see with great Tight Ends like Kelce. I place his chance-of-bust percentage at approximately 1%.
  8. 8 weeks after being traded to the team is fairly "instant". He was traded on August 29th and was playing by October 27th. That's only 59 days. In the NFL, that's about as instant as it gets. It's going to take several weeks just to learn a whole new playbook.
  9. "When you're not in full pads, technique, fundamentals, eye discipline, knowing what your body is supposed to do, how you're breathing out there, that all matters" - NFL Coach Jonathan Gannon “... when you finally do get the opportunity to put the pads on and practice, you’ve already worked through technique multiple times beforehand so that you’re ready to go once the pads go on.” - NFL linemen Ben Bredeson "Communication and assignment is a huge thing for us with no pads, obviously in the technique. You go out there every day and you try to focus on the technique." - Offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi
  10. Ubered. Kincaid's hands are like magnets. The anti-Gabe Davis.
  11. Just left camp. Allen was under constant pressure - without pads. Which worries me, since without pads, it's more about technique. And the d-line's technique was blowing away the o-lines. I sure hope it was a one day anomaly because if not, we are in for a long season. I was also able to see first hand why so many people are concerned about the backup QB position. If Allen ever goes down, we are ****ed. And i'm not talking about a full season - even if we need them for only a game or two - bad news.
  12. Adding to this problem is the fact that suites typically make up 20% of ticket revenue for large market teams. And more importantly, this revenue doesn’t need to be shared with the opponent, like regular seats. In Buffalo, there simply is not enough businesses willing to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to put their name on a suite door, which makes up the revenue in larger venues.
  13. The shape is literally that of a toilet bowl. The egress resembles a department store. There is no roof. It is a football-only facility. These negatives were all seen as "cost of doing business" due to saving a significant amount of money. However, now we find out that the total cost will come close to other stadiums that have a roof, are not shaped like a toilet bowl, are convertible to other entertainment, etc. It is a massive blunder and it's upsetting.
  14. I wish it were a joke. But it's not. It is reality. This will go down as among the largest blunders in New York State history and top three in Buffalo history. The design is terrible, the funding mismanaged, and taxpayers should be outraged that we are receiving less for our dollar than our taxpayers nation wide.
  15. Titans are getting this beatiful structure for $2.1B We are getting the toilet bowl for $1.9B Maddening.
  16. I’ll let others answer your local questions, but as to the ticket, I suggest waiting until you arrive at the stadium. I am often able to find club tickets for significantly less by purchasing close to game time, via the Ticketmaster resale app. The Jim Kelly club is wonderful in that the majority of the seats (rows 8 and up) are shaded from sun, rain, etc. Have a great time. PS, by sitting on the Kelly Club side, you’re looking at the Bills sideline across from you. You can see them sub-in, facial expressions, make decisions, etc. Instead of staring at their backs.
  17. That throw is absurd. Allen routinely attempts passes that very few QB’s in NFL history could dream of converting. When a human drives a football on a rope like that, they engage the brachialis, forearm flexor, extensor muscles and ucl. Suffice it to say, his elbow is healed.
  18. Yeah I noticed it was a bit slower without me . Threads from several days ago still on the front page right now? Oof! Just kidding of course. But contradictory points do tend to spur conversation along.
  19. Message boards have seen a significant decline in popularity over the past decade, a trend that leaves me somewhat disheartened. I have a preference for traditional message boards like TBD, rather than platforms rooted in social media. However, I do recognize why many individuals are drawn to platforms like Reddit. It provides a uniform UX/UI experience, allowing users to access all 32 NFL team subreddits with a single login and effortlessly crosspost between them, among other features. As for true message boards, ChiefsPlanet is very popular, though it is a rough crowd.
  20. Assuming your data is correct, this also shows that there is little correlation between the round we draft a player and their rookie play time. Plugging your data into a regression analysis: We receive a summary output of: The coeffecient obviously has no practical meaning in this context, however the F-stat of 1.8 with a p-value of 0.2 shows that the regression model is not statistically significant at a 0.05 significance level. The r square backs this up with only 9.09% of the variation in the playing time explained by the round drafted. In other words the draft round does not account for a significant portion of the variation observed in the percentage of snaps played by rookies. This coaching staff is just as likely to start a 5th rounder as a 2nd rounder. 3 draft classes is 50% of Beane's draft classes. That is a significant number. This could be re-hypothesized as "Opinion seems to be influenced by the last 3 draft classes. The reality is that our draft choices have not been as strong in recent years."
